Lynn, I missed out on this presentation since it was scheduled just after the fires here in San Diego. It looks like I'm too late for the Irvine briefing and Riverside might be a little bit too far to travel. Are you planning to talk about the new web development features in Visual Studio .NET 2008 at any point in the future? Thanks, Ron Barrett ron.barrett@ahhcbiz.comAnonymous

I enjoyed your presentation at the MSDN event today, thank you very much, very enlightening for an Eclipse programmer who hasn't dusted off his VS 2003 in a while. Also, I won one of the Silverlight books, thank you very much for bring the extra stuff to give away. Coming from a non VS / MS perspective I wanted to offer some suggestions for improvements in the IDE. It may be there already but it wasn't apparent during the demos. 1 - Support for other Javascript APIs, e.g. YUI, Dojo, Rico, etc. Although this may be antithetical to the MS way and there is the Ajax Control Toolkit which provides some of the UI capabilities of the APIs mentioned above. Have you heard of Aptana? http://www.aptana.org/ It's an Eclipse-based IDE for web development - worth looking at to measure up the competition. It has integration with several of the popular Javascript APIs. At the very least, someone should evaluate those APIs and try to make sure the Ajax Control Toolkit is on a par with them to the degree that it makes sense within the VS environment.
- Code explorer improvement - display the member functions of the code contained in a code element (.asp or .asmx or .cs file) underneath the code element. This can be used as a much quicker way of navigating to a specific part of the code (a method or property) when you have a larger chunk of code in a single file. This is how Eclipse displays code in 2 of the various navigation panes, very helpful, very efficient way of navigating the code. Again, try out the competition. Eclipse has evolved very quickly into a very powerful and popular IDE. Thank you again for your presentation today, I am definitely going to be thinking more about using VS for stuff I am working on.
